Excellent! Thanks! Nice seeing your Baby Ruth cars getting run time. Happy holidays! Be safe.

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

Thanks much. Hope you had a good holiday

@johnbutler1323 10 месяцев назад

The scale cars running in front of the smaller sized cars makes for a neat forced perspective effect.

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

Glad you like it 👍

@wayneantoniazzi2706 10 месяцев назад

I was waiting for the trains to get to the point where the guys in the caboose were waving at the guys in the locomotives but I think that would have been a bit much! 🤣 Hey, it was great to see the Hudson that Alco tried to sell to the Pennsy (but failed) again! Was the cold affecting the Hudson? Very likely. I've noticed some performance issues with my engines if the temperature's too cold. Fun video Dave, and man what a show those trains put on!

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

If I had more scale boxcars I would have tried! But it would need about 25 more. I also hadn’t run that Hudson in a while and the track is dirty and it’s cold. I need to take that one completely apart and service it. Regardless I had a lot of fun filming this one!

@momatmach1 10 месяцев назад

Great to see it all running top video

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

@bsalightning69 10 месяцев назад

Love the box car challenge, and the caboose.. will have to get me one... I'd love to do a version of the challenge myself but have had hip surgery, and not entirely back to normal. The boxcar challenge sounds like a great thing for the holidays for sure

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

It’s a fun challenge. I hope you heal up and get mobile soon.

@johnlongssilverrailz5873 10 месяцев назад

My favorites are the Norge car and the Tropicana. Nice to see your layout coming to life with some buildings, etc. Yes, the Williams locomotives are nice. Perhaps next year folks could do a freight car challenge.

@northpennvalleysteamrailroad 10 месяцев назад

@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards 10 месяцев назад

Great run, Dave. You mastered the challenge.

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@tomrogers5516 10 месяцев назад

Really awesome, Dave! When I counted the cars on the outer loop (which I did a few times), I counted 34 + caboose. On the inner loop, I counted 35 + caboose. Very engaging! I hope you're satisfied with this result for now. I think it was quite stunning.

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

I absolutely love doing videos like this, especially when the trains don’t derail!

@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway 10 месяцев назад

Wow, Dave, thank you for the shout out and for participating in the challenge again! I love the video and your collection of box cars like mine has really grown! You've picked up some really cool box cars. I agree that Williams EL SD locomotive is a great puller, and that FA set is sweet! Man, your layout is looking great. It was fun seeing your trains running on all four loops! Beautiful, Dave! Thank you again! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Bill B.

@@momatmach1 Hey, Tim, thanks! I credit people like Dave and Joey for any success this challenge might have. And people like you and the channel’s subscribers for any influence and success the OM&S might experience. It is really fun seeing that people are enjoying the Challenge. Bill

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Bill, I love the challenge the first time around and this second time was no different. I say we do it each year. At least I plan to!

@ozarkmidlandsouthernrailway 9 месяцев назад

@@dagryffynhobby I agree, Dave, it was a lot of fun. I'm thinking that this year I would start it perhaps a couple weeks earlier to give people more time to plan and work up their videos. It caught on this year, and I think folks had fun doing it. We'll chat about it before then. Thanks Dave! Bill

@trainman5603 10 месяцев назад

As always Dave you produce one heck of a video! Brains tell me the scale box cars should be best. Inv reality my heart lies somewhere between the 2454 and 3464 operating box cars are my favorite. Reason: they just look so good operating on a layout!

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. The scale cars run the best but the older cars are more fun! It’s always a compromise!

@RichardEngle-pu3fz 10 месяцев назад

Great video. Suggestion on your layout. Keep it back woodsy and mountain theme. Not to busy. Love your layout. Number 1. You can tell me to bugger off. 😊 .

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

I won’t be telling anyone to bugger off! Probably 🤷‍♂️. I go back and forth about backwoods vs city. I really think I may have a spot or two that is busy but most will be mountains and trees.

@scpvrr 10 месяцев назад

Nice! Inspired me to do this challenge as well! Merry Christmas Dave!

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, you too!

@mr.shadestrains6033 10 месяцев назад

Nice box cars you have a lot of them Awsum video 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃😎👍

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! I have more than I thought but still not enough!

@chiconian49 9 месяцев назад

Good job. I managed to push and pull 20, O-27 boxcars and caboose on my tight O-31 curves with a 73- year-old 6220 Lionel switcher. I believe I could have pulled more; however, the tight curves were causing derailments. Always remember, heavy cars behind the loco, light cars near the caboose. Happy New Years.

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

That’s very impressive with 31 inch curves! I have a hard enough time with the 54” curves. Nice work!

@stevencilento3364 10 месяцев назад

Very impressive Dave. I was surprised you did not bring out the Train Master.

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

I was so focused on the boxcars I didn’t even think of it!

@andrewaugustyniak2765 10 месяцев назад

That is like 54 boxcar all rolling on the layout, specially love that sound boxcar really cool. Realistic sounds 👌

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

Thank you very much!

@GlennFresch 10 месяцев назад

I’m impressed a loco without speed control can crawl like that with a big train!

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

It really did very well. I had to adjust the speed a bunch at first but the it was mostly ok. It did tend to slow down in one spot because of all the curves but it still did great

@robertmadison2752 10 месяцев назад

They really do look better organized by scale . . . or, with the traditional cars, by the manufacturer's philosophy of the moment.

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

I try to organize the cars by what looks right to me at the time.

@therosejewelrailroad489 10 месяцев назад

That was fun. Hopefully I can get enough ambition this week to go down to the basement and fun the fun.

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

I always figure a few minutes running trains does a world of good.

@railchief74 10 месяцев назад

Epic video Dave! I’ll be making my video for bills boxcar challenge which I’ll be adding to my RU-vid Christmas series that I’ll be streaming on this week on the 21st of December leading up into Christmas Day.

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

Awesome!

@Ed-ICE-Berg 10 месяцев назад

Wow Super video Dave! A veritable cornucopia of boxcars - a catalog of boxcars rolling the rails!! I was watching that and thought, “if you stretched that train out in a straight line it would nearly be as long as the lot my house sits on!” As for the Southern RR steamer not being prototypical I have a story. Lionel produced a Milwaukee Road GP-7 in the Postwar years and again in the MPC era. K-Line made one as well (I have that one). Ya know what? THE MILWAUKEE ROAD NEVER HAD GP-7s!!! They started with GP-9s. People need to leave that ‘prototype’ mindset to the 2-rail, O-scale guys. We’re in the FUN part of the hobby!!! Again, thanx for sharing this!

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

Thanks and I totally agree! Life is too short to worry about my toys being prototypical!

@scottfrezza3573 10 месяцев назад

There was no way I was running all mine but I managed to get some on the tracks I did leave out some others were running. I wish there was more videos like this linking all of us out there !!!

@genemanno1533 10 месяцев назад

I gotta say the Baby Ruth cars stand out above all else. Maybe it’s because as a kid they were a favorite too, (rail car and candy bar). I wonder if there was ever an O’henry or Snickers candy bar box car.😊😊

@wayneantoniazzi2706 10 месяцев назад

Yes, there WERE "Oh Henry" and "Snickers" boxcars made. I'm not sure who made the "Oh Henry" car but MTH did the "Snickers." They were made in the 90's and I'm sure they're out there somewhere.

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

And I don’t even eat Baby Ruth! I just like the car and that it was an early postwar piece. I guess the color really pops too.

@jonathans1191 10 месяцев назад

Well that was fun! But what's with the cattle car in the midst of all the boxes?!( behind the 3612). And gotta ask, what under track road bed do you use? It appears sturdy and quiet.

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

Cattle car just snuck its way in. I use woodland scenics track bed. It’s soft, easy to use, and really deadens the sound.

@scottstrainloft5965 10 месяцев назад

Very impressive feat, Dave. I would like to join in on the fun, but it may be a couple of weeks before I can with my layout currently torn apart, as my track expansion is in progress. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! It’s always a tough time when the track is up

@DRCRailroard 10 месяцев назад

Pretty impressive, Dave. It's one thing for an engine to pull that kind of load. It's a whole nother thing going around that many curves, especially with direction changes added in. I have several of the dual can motor Williams diesel engines. They are absolute beasts, easy to service and work on and great runners, especially those equipped with flywheels. I was hoping Menards would fill this void with their offerings. I have several of the Trainmasters, SD-45, and GG1. All with little to no run time and 100 bucks and less. I'm glad you ran the Williams Hudson even though it's not prototypical. BFD. I don't own any of their steam engines but seen several for sale lately that really caught my eye and I've been contemplating getting. Very unique sound set. I kinda like it. Oh yeah nice collection of box cars. There the best. Merry Christmas and Happy rails

@wayneantoniazzi2706 10 месяцев назад

The Williams tooling and molds are out there somewhere. Whether Menard's has access to them or owns them now I've no idea. Williams trains were great value for the money, no doubt!

@dagryffynhobby 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. Yeah I’ve been very impressed with my Williams engine, also my dual motor weaver was the best $50 I ever spent. I’m still optimistic about Menards and look forward to more from them.

@pawpawjoeslioneltrains 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Dave. I find it hard to resist a good challenge. My layout is small and the curves are tighter. I had to cheat a little and use an engine at the rear to keep from derailing. But its all fun. The video is short and located here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Thj6qhzCQ0g.html

Just watched it, that is an amazing string of boxcars!

@TimMacPA 10 месяцев назад

I tried this last week, didn't work out, the couplers kept popping.

@dagryffynhobby 10 месяцев назад

I actually had really good luck with couplers this time. When I pull a lot of traditional sized cars, I spend a lot of time moving them around each time a coupler pops. I’ve put small rubber bands on some couplers and one or two I’ve had to glue. It’s takes time but the result is great!

@franktino6676 10 месяцев назад

Dave, I use bread bag wire ties, painted black on those pernicious couplers that won't cooperate. 😊. Great video,as always! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and the family 🎅🎄🚂
